Originally coming to India through the Malabar region, St. Thomas was one of the apostles of Jesus Christ and went there to preach the word of God and the gospel. The teachings of the Bible moved the inhabitants, and they accepted Christianity as their religion. The primarily Christian nations of the English, Dutch, French, and Portuguese ruled India over the years. This was seen in the churches that were constructed and impacted the architectural style. In this article, we will explore Christian Pilgrimage and Religious Sites across India that you should visit at least once in your lifetime.

CSI Mateer Memorial Church was established in 1906 and was among the first churches in South India. The congregation bears the name of Rev. Samuel Mateer, who was the first missionary to attempt to form a local church and a devoted member of the London Missionary Society. Mateer Memorial Church is one of the few churches in India made completely of granite. The roof and square bell tower are supported by Gothic arches that add to their majesty, and the stone-cut Celtic cross honors Rev. Mateer&#8217;s Irish ancestry.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most well-known churches in South India is Mateer Memorial Church, which has a straightforward, elegant construction reminiscent of European structures, in contrast to Kerala&#8217;s traditional churches, which have an imposing fa\u00e7ade and whitewashed exteriors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Basilica_of_Bom_Jesus_Goa\"><\/span><strong>2.

The Goa region was formerly under Portuguese authority. It is said that St. Francis Xavier, one of the Jesuit founders, has mortal remains in this cultural place. The Church, which holds the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier, has a strong Portuguese architectural influence. The Church&#8217;s interior features marble flooring, ornate altarpieces, and priceless stone ornamentation. An art exhibit at the Basilica currently showcases Biblical stories, recognizing it as a UNESCO World Historical Monument. Thousands of people annually visit this basilica since its construction in the sixteenth century. This historic church in the nation is well-known for its spiritual components, exquisite architectural design, and tranquil atmosphere.

The Church has gained historical notoriety due to its survival as one of the few churches among the destruction of all other Catholic churches during the Dutch invasion.<\/p>\n<p>The Church&#8217;s architecture skillfully blends Indo-European and Gothic architectural elements. Because of the stained glass windows and the vivid colors utilized on the ceiling that resemble a cathedral, the church&#8217;s interior feels airy and energetic. Portugal, the first country in the 1500s, founded this famous cathedral. Later, Pope Paul IV blessed the Church with a cathedral. This church&#8217;s gothic-style construction, attractive artwork, pastel interior hues, and incredibly bright exterior make it one of the most beautiful in all of India.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Velankanni_Church_Tamil_Nadu\"><\/span><strong>4.
